Just a general question for dicussion.
I would think most clients would want some action during the week and leave the weekend for other things friends family nights out etc. Yet the agencies here seem to have big line ups on the weekend more than during the week.
Why do you think that is? Demand or supply? Please list 3 reasons and defend your position with facts. You have 20 minutes to finish this exam. You may start now.
Too Funny!!!
You ask total strangers questions and you want them to defend their answers!
Maybe you are asking the wrong people the wrong questions?
While Montreal has the hottest women women in general, and some of the hottest SP's, I personally have fewer than 10 favorites. All that matters to me are when my favorites work. None of my favorites work anywhere near 5 days a week. I don't care which are busy nights for clients, if that is a night one of my favorites works, I will try to book her. I don't need to know about why a SP works, I need to know when a SP works........ If you need to know more on the why part, ask that SP why she works the days she does- keeping in mind, that this is a young woman who would rather have fun with her friends than work, and nothing she says will matter if you are planning a short visit to Montreal....... a SP's Murphy's Law thing.
My game plan: Montreal(from previous trips)- talk to my favorites during the down time between the action- find out if there is a pattern- like: she doesn't work Friday to Monday, because she like to dance with her friends at Opera on the weekend.
Home- follow my favorite's day to day schedule a month before my vacation, keep a log calendar & look for a pattern. Read MERB for info on new SP's, there are quite a few posters that I follow, like Banger & Doc Holiday.
Montreal- know when the daily schedule is posted, call early as possible, from the daily schedule know which SP I would book & which are my favorites- have a plan B,C & D ready, when booking- write down the booker's name & try to remember him/her, talk nicely and calmly with the booker, if the night's lineup is totally new to you, keep the call short & just tell the booker, what kind of SP's that you like, trust him/her at least twice.
About your question & my take: Most agencies will let the SP's work anytime they want(if they have drivers), non-superstar SP's will work when it is the busiest nights, superstar SP's don't care if it is a busy or slow night- they know they will get booked, most SP's have a real day job(weekends off), quite a few SP's do not live in Montreal(and have to take the long bus ride to get here & this matters, because they will be the hardest to plan for/book- they have a random monthly schedule, not a weekly one).
For most SP's it is controlled by the clients & when she will be busy enough to make money.
For superstars, they control the clients & in general, they will be always busy.
By the way, I do not know your definition of a busy night? Is it one where there are the most SP's working/scheduled or the ones where they have the most bookings(some nights the Agency could have tripled it's profit if they just had more SP's working)?
